On July 1st, 2008 Michigan's new booster seat law takes effect. The law is a long overdue protection for Michigan's young children who are too small to fit safely in just the cars seat and safety belt and too big for a traditional car seat.

Children under the age of 4 are still required to be in an approved child safety seat under michigan law. The change in law is that Michigan children, 4 years old or older, are now required to be in a booster seat until they are at least 8 years old or 4' 9" tall.

Children must be in a seat until they reach the age requirement or the height requirement, whichever comes first. For example:

• If your child is 8 years or older, but under 4'9" tall, the law does not apply.
• If your child is under 8 years old, but over 4'9" tall, the law does not apply.

Remember: In both of these cases, your child may be safer in a booster seat but it is not required by law.
